WAmend and the Olympia chapter of Move to Amend are gathering signatures for I-1329

Andrew Saturn on June 9, 2014

We no longer have democracy in our country because big money owns the political process. We need to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that a corporation is a person and money is speech (Citizens United v. FEC). To do that, we need 34 states to support an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. 16 states have already passed similar resolutions; 21 are in the process. With citizen Initiative-1329, Washington will be the 17th state.

Local members of the Olympia chapter of Move to Amend are helping to gather signatures for I-1329 which urges an amendment to the Constitution which would clarify that constitutional rights apply to natural persons, not corporations, and authorize greater regulation of political contributions and expenditures. Sign I-1329 by June 30, and let’s get big money out of politics!
